Ear Beetle - Canifa
Pelham, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
June 21, 2009
Size: ~2 mm
I felt something tickling behind my ear just now, and it turned out to be this beetle. It's small enough that it probably could have crawled in through the screen, attracted by my light. I'll see if I can get a better shot if this doesn't do the trick.
